Chicago Bears wide receiver Brandon Marshall dials in to “The Rich Eisen Podcast.” The Bears are off to a 3-0 start, their best since 2010 when they made it to the NFC Championship. Marshall discusses with Rich the key to the Bears early success and how coach Marc Trestman has put his stamp on the team. The outgoing Marshall also openly discusses his struggles with borderline personality disorder, and how he hopes to bridge the gap between the general public and their perception or misconceptions about people who suffer from mental health issues. It’s a fascinating listen from an inspiring young man who seems to have things headed in the proper direction, both on and off the field.

Next, Rich dials up Cincinnati Bengals rookie running back Giovani Bernard, who’s coming off a huge win against the Green Bay Packers in Week 3. The Bengals on Sunday became the first team in NFL history to give up a 14-point lead and then come back from a 16-point deficit to win. Rich discusses with Bernard how he his role in the offense has increased in Cincinnati’s back-to-back wins, where he’s found the end zone three times and is averaging over 5 yards per carry.

The podcast wraps up with actress, host, and now New York Times best-selling author, Aisha Tyler. Tyler, who also hosts her own podcast (Girl On Guy Podcast) swings by NFL network studios to discuss her beloved 49ers and the tough loss they had at the hands of Andrew Luck in the Colts.

Rich Eisen's Top 10 Interviews

Unbelievably, after a four-year run, this is the last-ever incarnation of “The Rich Eisen Podcast.” Frequently, in this business, shows like this don’t end at the host’s request or behest. Usually, shows named after the host come to an abrupt close when the host is shown the door by security while holding office belongings in a cardboard box.

Thankfully, the reason why I’m shuttering this podcast after four wonderful years is because it’s turning into a daily three-hour TV show airing on DirecTV’s Audience Channel No. 239 and streaming live on the latest venture brought to you by NFL Media, the NFL Now app. NFL Now is also the home to the video archive of the show, which will also be available in audio podcast form on Podcast One as well as iTunes and virtually every other place you’ve been able to download this program over its lifespan. Best of all for our listeners, NFL Now is internationally available too.

It’s truly exciting news for your humble host and my podcast compadres Chris Law and Chris Brockman, who are traveling with the show’s move to a bigger and broader platform.

I started this podcast at the outset of the 2010 season because I thought there was a space in which to connect with the NFL Network fan base and have a conversation about the NFL and the entertainment world in one sitting. And I was rewarded with four years of stupendous football chatter involving fascinating figures from the gridiron and guests from across the TV, movie and music spectrum. Best yet, it did in fact get me closer to myriad football fans worldwide. I can not thank you enough for your passionate listenership. Please follow the show with us into the new horizon. We could not have done it without you. Thanks again and, as always, enjoy this listen.
